I beg to differ with your analysis. I spent 78 wonderful days on Parris Island. The so called cruelty there was fine. It is this level of discipline and indoctrination that keeps the Marines in top shape both mentally and physically. We did this so that there could be freedom for all the people of the world. It is not for everyone. A Marine musician is a Marine first. All Marines are a Marine first. If you are not aware of this prior to enlistment you are not paying attention to what you are doing. I am sorry that you feel the way you do. I hope when you see a Marine in uniform the next time that you will shake their hand and thank them for the job they are doing to keep you free.
